This hotel feels like an AirBnB without all the hassle of AirBnB. We were emailed a door code for check in so we could go straight to our room. If you are okay with outside as opposed to poolside and a touch of street noise, I highly recommend the Travelers Room. It has a cute little patio sheltered by greenery and a parking nook right next to the room. Because it's on the outside, it feels like a nice little apartment. There is no smoking on property which is a huge plus. The pool is well maintained and there is sunscreen, a grill, beach umbrellas and beach chairs available for all guests to use. We went to grill and the propane was out but within minutes Sam, the GM had switched it out for us. There are no ovens in the rooms so you have to cook on the grill. You can also bring food to put in the fridge and heat in the microwave. Our room had a coffee pot and a french press. The air conditioners are a little noisy but they WORK and in Florida that's important. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful pre-stay on the phone and during our stay. Someone knocked on our door on the second day and asked if we needed housekeeping. We asked for some extra shampoos, which were promptly provided. The best part of this place is that it's a...This hotel feels like an AirBnB without all the hassle of AirBnB. We were emailed a door code for check in so we could go straight to our room.

The best part of this place is that it's a few blocks from the beach. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and I would recommend this hotel to use as a relaxing, private beach home base if you are visiting Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.More
